5 Simple Anti-Aging Makeup Tricks

Turning back the clock just got easier. Here, easy ways to look younger with makeup, from the artist who beautifies stars like Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lawrence, and Anna Paquin.

I hate to say something as unoriginal as "Makeup is a great way to look and feel younger! Woo-hoo!" But the truth is—if you know a few tricks—makeup is, in fact, a pretty great way to look younger. Here's a for-instance: One of my favorite tricks is to swipe a creamy eyeliner pencil in dark brown across the creases of my eyelids, then fan it out in both directions and blend away. As you get older, your eyes can seem like they're shrinking, and this technique brings back depth and structure. It's a great tip to use if you wake up with sodium eyes (a.k.a. the puffies) to contour your eyelids. Some of my most effective tricks are the ones I use on my celebrity clients. But anyone can make a few simple changes and look years younger. And to that I say—with no dorkiness whatsoever—woo-hoo!
